Huge let down to someone who primarily drinks stouts and porters. Not a bad beer, but bland. Aroma and color implied a much richer brew. Well used as a session beer or transition for your bud drinking friends.

Black color; creamy head (possibly some carbo-nitro in the pump?). Light roasted malt and cardboard aroma. Smooth mouthfeel, chocolate and roasted malt flavor, correct bitterness. Nothing special.

Apr 23, 2009 On draft at 4P w/ Bockyhorsey. The pour was dark black with that choco-colored generous head yielded by the N2. Cascading action was still going on when I got this, but it wasn’t overly impressive. The aroma was chocolate, and then some milk chocolate, pretty sweet smelling. The flavor was sweet chocolate, lacking dryness and roastiness to keep this honest and likeable. Where is the oatmeal-ness in this thing, nothing dry at all, nothing oaty. Mouthfeel was sticky but not silky, somewhat watery and sticky if that’s possible: disappointing. Oh well, good company joined me anyway, Bill, thanks!

Feb 21, 2009 On tap at the Scottsdale Grill & Tap. Pours a dark brown under a thin but dense dark khaki head. Thin veils of lacing coat the glass all the way to the last sip. Aroma of coffee and warm cocoa. Flavors of bittersweet chocolate, coffee, vanilla and a touch of caramel. Creamy texture with a nice level of prickly carbonation. Long sweet finish with a hint of smoke. A nice oatmeal stout.

S- Subtle bread and biscuit malts, roast and toast, coffee, anise
T- Initial mix of bitter chocolate and coffee, light floral hops, biscuit malts, finishes bitter
M- Medium-bodied, watery texture, moderate carbonation
D- Simpler type of stout, very mild and straightforward, not much incentive to drink this beer in great quantities

Jan 4, 2009 Very oatmeal-y. I liked it. Easy going palate, nice flavors. Not too heavy/thick but far from watered down.

Jan 2, 2009 Nitro Tap. Buddy bought a keg for new years so this rating is based on a quite large sample. :)
Pours a nice dark brown to black with a creamy head. Aroma is roast, chocolate malts, coffee, oatmeal and a touch of vanilla. Flavor is much the same, nice roasty coffee chocolate taste, not too watery not to thick. Great session stout, you could drink these all night.
